Musically, highlights come thick and fast on all fronts. The line-up was ruthless with big-room juggernauts and underground insurgents sharing equal footing. We kicked off Thurs- day with a boat party featuring OGUZ, DBBD, and Nik Kasltel in fine form and then got into it back on dry land.
The sound of Kobosil’s punishing kicks cutting through the night air, the spec- tacle of Mall Grab slamming through breaks as the sky blushed pink, the sweaty communion with tons of new mates on the beach stage - all this is the stuff that comes back to you months, years later and brings a smile to your face because you know you were there to experience something special.
At night, I Hate Models turned chaos into theatre, channelling breakneck BPMs into something oddly transcen- dent. The day after, Dax J dropped bombs with clinical precision at Olive Grove, and Ben Sims brought his no frills, timeless sounds to keep the momentum flowing. Later, Barbarella’s open-air floor was heaving under the weight of attacks from OGUZ + and BLK, who offered a masterclass in unrelenting techno at The Yard.
By day, things took a different shade on Saturday. X Club. toyed with tempo and texture, serving up hyperactive cuts that bounced between EBM filth and rave euphoria out at sea. On the Beach Stage, the thrilling chaos of BIIANCO was a blizzard of sound and texture from across hard dance, tran- ce, and plenty in between that all blu- rred genres into something utterly functional.
Terminal V Croatia 2025 is not just a Scottish export transplanted into a new setting; it truly has a global feel, as if it’s always been here and always belonged. Australians made up a massive chunk of the crowd and brou- ght a hedonistic edge that rarely faltered. At the same time, Londoners, Berliners, Parisians, Tokyoites, and more all converged with locals who’ve seen Croatia become Europe’s summer festival capital over the last 15 years. The energy was international yet deeply communal from start to finish.
Stage partnerships with collectives like Berlin’s BCCO, Serbia’s Music Reactions, and Spain’s Abstract ensured the programming never felt insular. Instead, it was a cross-conti- nental dialogue in which techno’s many dialects come together on Adriatic dancefloors for five days of full-spec- trum sonic immersion.
The difference between Terminal V Croatia and its Scottish motherland comes down to intensity. Edinburgh is a sledgehammer: dark, raw, industrial. Croatia is more deceptive. The sun, the sea, the smiles lull you into thinking it’s going to be more laidback, and by day it somewhat is, but once night falls, once the BPMs hit full throttle, it’s every bit as ferocious. The softness of the setting only sharpens the contrast. When you’re five hours deep into a Kobosil set and the horizon starts to glow, it’s a new kind of euphoria.
Founders Derek Martin and Simon McGrath have made it clear
this isn’t a fling. Tisno is now part of Terminal V’s DNA.

And judging by the 2025 edition, with attendance doubled, production amped up, and local support stronger than ever, they’re not just talking big, they’re delivering big, too. With that in mind, Terminal V Croatia is also proof that techno’s most uncompromising spirit can thrive in paradise without losing its teeth. Proof that communi- ty and curation can trump hype and headliners. By the time the last beat faded and the Adriatic swallowed the sun once more, one thing was clear: Terminal V Croatia is now leading from the front.
